One day
Zain-ul-Abideen was performing Prayer in the mosque when all of a sudden the
thatched roof caught fire and set it all in flames. Despite this,
Zain-ul-Abideen kept steadfast and focused in Prayer. Watching this incidence,
all the people gathered and shouted out to him but he remained unaware of what
was happening. Once he had finished his Prayer he came outside the mosque where
the people asked him why he did not act in response to their shouting out so
loudly. Zain-ul-Abideen told them that while they were trying to save him from
this worldly fire, he was actually standing in the court of Allah.

Mehrāj means to enter the world of the unseen. When a believer attains Mehrāj through prayer, Angels appear in front of him. He travels through the Heavens, and through the blessings of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) he comes to know his Lord.
